Wampus genii rush material for spring issue
The poor little harassed genius of our day and age is likely to
be a very browbeaten individual,
indeed. In comparison with the geniuses of the days prior to the first World War, who were treated with the respect and awe due their exalted stations in life, the genii of our time are pushed and badgered around by radio quiz masters, people who want to sell them sets of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, and, last but certainly not least, the editorial officers of that sterling SC blue book, the Wampus.
Donna Knox, assistant editor of the campus publication, habitually maintains that the Wampus desires only the most highly-inspired material of the highest-quality genii on campus.
Now she has demonstrated to anyone’s satisfaction to Just what degree her reverence toward her high-quality geniuses go. She has demanded vigorously that these genii get a move on and finish their highly-inspired material,
but quick.
All written material will have to find its way to the Wampus offices, on the fourth floor of the Student Union, sometime before the editors desert the locality tonight, or it won’t have a chance in the world of getting into the forthcoming spring issue of the highly-inspired magazine. Photographs, drawings, and cartoons will have until 3 p.m. Monday to get to the editor in order to get into that edition.

U.S. supports whitewashing of Nip ruler
TOKYO, Feb. 14.—<T7i!>—T h e prosecution at the forthcoming international trial of top Japanese war criminals will probably avoid the question of Emperor Hirohito’s war guilt because of American insistence that he be kept on his throne, it was reported .today.
It was also learned that the Allied nations who will try former Premier Hideki Tojo and more than 20 other high-ranking suspects will present a single co-ordinate case, instead of each power prosecuting separately as in the ^luernberg trial of German war criminals.
Key Allied headquarters officials indicated only that the question of charging Hirohito with responsibility for the war has not yet been settled. But it was learned that Great Britain has agreed to a U. S. request to take no action at this time might weaken the Emperor’s position.
The agreement to soft-pedal any talk implicating Hirohito as a war criminal was reached in London as the result of talks between U. S. Ambassador John G. Winant and British Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee, the United Press was informed.
Dean continues special lectures
Lower-division students who are in doubt as to what subjects should be taken in order to qualify for various degrees will be given the opportunity to clear their minds of that load today at 11 a.m. in 214 Bridge.
Dr. Albert Raubenheimer, executive dean of the university, will conduct the fourth discussion in the orientation series begun early this term. The orientation series was initiated for the special purpose of enlightening new students on the many academic questions that bother ,the lower-division students on entering a new university.
“The series was started in order to provide educational counseling for new students and help them achieve a better understanding of the scholastic requirements of the university,” stated Dean Raubenheimer.
The conferences have been held at different hours during the series in order to give all students the opportunity of attending.
Assisting Dr. Raubenheimer during the orientation discussions has been Paul E. Hadley, instructor in international relations.
“We feel that the conferences initiated this term have been of great help to many students,” declared Mr. Hadley, and we will continue them as long as students re-; spond as they have to past lec-I tures.”

Wampus genii rush material for spring issue
The poor little harassed genius of our day and age is likely to
be a very browbeaten individual,
indeed. In comparison with the geniuses of the days prior to the first World War, who were treated with the respect and awe due their exalted stations in life, the genii of our time are pushed and badgered around by radio quiz masters, people who want to sell them sets of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, and, last but certainly not least, the editorial officers of that sterling SC blue book, the Wampus.
Donna Knox, assistant editor of the campus publication, habitually maintains that the Wampus desires only the most highly-inspired material of the highest-quality genii on campus.
Now she has demonstrated to anyone’s satisfaction to Just what degree her reverence toward her high-quality geniuses go. She has demanded vigorously that these genii get a move on and finish their highly-inspired material,
but quick.
All written material will have to find its way to the Wampus offices, on the fourth floor of the Student Union, sometime before the editors desert the locality tonight, or it won’t have a chance in the world of getting into the forthcoming spring issue of the highly-inspired magazine. Photographs, drawings, and cartoons will have until 3 p.m. Monday to get to the editor in order to get into that edition.

U.S. supports whitewashing of Nip ruler
TOKYO, Feb. 14.——T h e prosecution at the forthcoming international trial of top Japanese war criminals will probably avoid the question of Emperor Hirohito’s war guilt because of American insistence that he be kept on his throne, it was reported .today.
It was also learned that the Allied nations who will try former Premier Hideki Tojo and more than 20 other high-ranking suspects will present a single co-ordinate case, instead of each power prosecuting separately as in the ^luernberg trial of German war criminals.
Key Allied headquarters officials indicated only that the question of charging Hirohito with responsibility for the war has not yet been settled. But it was learned that Great Britain has agreed to a U. S. request to take no action at this time might weaken the Emperor’s position.
The agreement to soft-pedal any talk implicating Hirohito as a war criminal was reached in London as the result of talks between U. S. Ambassador John G. Winant and British Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee, the United Press was informed.
